DUNEDIN WOOL SALE.

NEW RECORD FOR SEASON. TWOPENCE ADVANCE ON HALFBRED. EXTRA QUALITY REALISES 303<3. The third wool sale of the series was opened in Burns Hall on Wednesday night, and was continued yesterday, when the various brokers offered catalogues, totalling £7,325 hales. There was a full attendance of buvers every seat on the benches being occupied, representing America, Britain, E '.rope, and Japan, and buyers for all our local mills. A large proportion of the offering included clips which had been shorn for pome time, and which had arrived in Dunedin too late to be included in the last sale. The wools opened in splendid conditio'l., and it can bo said that some of the hr.lfbreds and fine crossbreds offered this ie were in beautiful order. Some of ‘the ,-o’thern Lakes’ district and backcountry wool was well grown, but being later shorn showed much more condition. The hope formed by growers that the sale would command the nigh prices obtained in other parts of the Dominion was more than justified, and under extremely good competition prices advanced from to 2d per lb for good halfbreds. Crossbreds and good pieces compared with rates ruling at the sale on February 1. Great Britain lifted the greatest proportion of the catalogue, but Continental buyers were determined competitors, and scoured a fair share of the offering. America did not buy much, the prices paid evidently being above her limits. Very few lots were passed, and it can safely be said that this sale is one of the. best ever experienced in Otago, as again record prices for New Zealand this season were obtained. The following are the comparisons between February’s sale and yesterday’s:
